def gen():
    count = 0
    for a in zmienna:
        # we assume szukana is a single letter
        if szukana == a:
            count+=1
        else:
            continue
    return count

More preferably, you should repetitively use "str.find"

Or just use `max(0,len(zmienna.split(szukana))-1)`
